Copyright New Faces essay collection, Andreas Mahler, May 2019 Restitutional Shakespeare. Past concerns and present issues Andreas Mahler, Freie Universität Berlin The Shakespearean œuvre is full of words like ‘remedy’, ‘remediate’, ‘restore’, or ‘restitute’ that imply the overcoming of a crisis by ‘healingly’ coming back to the old order of before. This is based on the fantasy that, if only one waits long enough, the wheel of fortune will always ‘come full circle’. Quite a substantial number of important plays, however, demonstrate that this is not the case. This can be seen as a crisis of cyclical temporality, giving way to the idea of linearity that up until now seems to have won the day. The contribution first addresses the fantasm of restitution in Shakespeare and discusses its negotiation and questioning in some of his plays.

  • The Tragedy of King Richard Iii by William Shakespeare
    THE TRAGEDY OF KING RICHARD III BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE EDUCATION PACK 1 RICHARD III EUROPEAN THEATRE ETG EDUCATION PACK GROUP 2013 Welcome to the Education Pack provided by Cambridge University’s European Theatre Group to accompany our 2013 winter tour of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of King Richard III. ETG has developed a reputation at home and abroad for producing exciting, innovative, experimental and professional interpretations of classic texts. However, an integral part of our tour is the educational enrichment which we hope to provide. We aim to create a production which will successfully engage with our audiences, whether they are school children, university students or academics. This Education Pack is designed to be a supplement to the study and revision materials you can easily find elsewhere – on the internet, in core study guides, and in general introductions to the text. Information on the best of these sources can be found in the further reading section. This pack instead aims to help you think critically about the text in relation to its performance, and the key ideas that have shaped our production. Richard III is unique within Shakespeare’s History plays, in that almost every other character is eclipsed by the dominant force of Richard – he is both director and actor, politician and fool, hero and devil. Indeed, with over 30 historical figures crammed in the full play (many of whom only ever appear at the peripheries) we have chosen to focus our study and our production on Richard and the three key women who represent the only resistance to his rise - Margaret, Elizabeth and Anne.
